Biblical Principle #51: Angels Married Human Women

Biblical Principles List

Principle

After creation, certain angels married human women.

Explanation

We have previously established that, in the Bible, the term “sons of God” refers to GOD’s heavenly creatures, including angels.

The Bible tells us that, several generations after creation, as the human population increased, certain angels lusted after beautiful human women, left their assigned heavenly roles, and married them.

1 Now it came to pass that men began to exist in great numbers on the earth, and daughters were born to them. 2 So when the sons of God saw the daughters of men were beautiful, they took wives for themselves of all they chose.

Genesis 6:1-2 OSB

These angels sinned by stepping outside the role that GOD had given them to marry.

Apparently, it was GOD’s will that angels remain celibate and single. When certain Jewish religious leaders tried to trap Jesus regarding the resurrection, they asked Him a question about marriage after the resurrection.

23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven [brothers] were married to her?”

24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Mark 12:23-25 NIV

As a result of their sins, GOD punished these angels, imprisoning them in darkness.

The apostle Peter wrote:

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into [Tartarus] and committed them to pits of darkness, held for judgment; 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example of what is coming for the ungodly; 7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the perverted conduct of unscrupulous people 8 (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds), 9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from a trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt passion, and despise authority.

2 Peter 2:4-10 NASB

Likewise, Jude wrote:

5 … I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

Jude 5b-6 NIV

These angels’ choice to abandoned GOD’s designed order and do what they wanted to do (sin) had massive negative consequences.

    Review your position on this subject. Genesis 6:1-2 does not imply angels came down to marry. The passage was referring to good people as sons of God and evil people as daughters of men who mingled in marriage.

      Stephen, I reached my current “position” as an outcome of years of studying the mountain of Scriptural evidence I have shared in the articles and videos here. Meanwhile, you have provided merely an accusation and an assertion with zero evidence. If you provide Scriptural proof that shows me that my understanding is inaccurate, I will be thankful to you and change my mind, as I have done countless times where I have been wrong in the past.

      But so far, I’m feeling comfortable with my “position.”

      Blessings.

      Thank you, dear brother Steven. When Jesus said No marriage” He was speaking of “No marriage”. They were never created for marriage. Unlike human beings. Like the missing bones for evolutions tale. Where are the half human/angle beings. No. When your told something look for evidence in scripture. Most of all look and read what Jesus said. “Their souls in glory are like the angles”. Who don’t marry. Simple logic from Jesus. Ever since the days of Blatty. People have been searching for demons in every corner. Birthed out of this miss understanding. You will note how angry they become when you challenge them. Spitting out curses. Don’t let them fool you. God bless us all Amen.

        I am not sure what most of that comment is trying to communicate, but the one phrase I’ll address is what Jesus said about angels regarding marriage and the resurrection of the dead.

        Two Gospels record Jesus’ statement in this regard: Matthew 22[:30] and Mark 12[:25]. Here’s Mark’s account:

        23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

        24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
        (Mark 12:23-25 NIV)

        In this text, who did Jesus compare to the angels?

        The resurrected dead (men and women).

        To which specific angels did Jesus compare the resurrected dead men and women?

        The angels in heaven.

        Are all angels in heaven?

        No.

        How do we know?

        Well, one place we know is because 2 Corinthians 11:14 says that Satan masquerades as an angel of light. And Revelation 12:9 said that Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven and down to earth.

        But even the specific angels we are discussing, those who allegedly married the human women and fathered half-angel, half-man Nephilim children: Peter told us what happened to them. They got locked out of heaven permanently, too, placed in their chains of darkness in Hades:

        4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
        (2 Peter 2:4 NIV)

        Jude confirmed that these angels left heaven and then got imprisoned:

        6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.
        (Jude 6 NIV)

        So, yes(!), absolutely, the resurrected dead men and women are like the angels in heaven! But the angels that we read about in Genesis 6 were not in heaven when Jesus gave that response to the Sadducees and first-century Jews.

        So everything I’ve written is consistent with what Jesus taught about the resurrection and angels in heaven.

        As the Scripture says:

        WHEN THE HOUSE IS BUILT AFTER THE CAPTIVITY; A SONG BY DAVID.

        1 Sing to the Lord a new song;
        sing to the Lord, all the earth!
        2 Sing to the Lord! Bless his name!
        Bring good news day by day of his salvation!
        3 Report among the nations his glory,
        among all the peoples his wondrous things.
        4 For great is the Lord and very praiseworthy.
        He is more awesome than all the gods.
        5 For all the gods of the nations are demons,
        but the Lord made the heavens.
        (Psalm 95 [96]:1-5 LES2)

      Second inspiration. Are angles now “Flesh and blood”. No not even. So they can procreate they have to be “Flesh and Blood creatures”. They have manifest as visible creatures but never a Human beings’ We were created in God’s image and likeness Gen 1-27. Angles were not. Otherwise, Salvation through Christ Jesus sacrifice was for them also.

        Hi angels were ‘flesh and bone’ as was Jesus when he appeared many times including to Thomas. Blood is uniquely human. The angels that fell in pre flood world could put on flesh and create human bodies including procreation since genisis and Jude confirm it. The children were only male and hybrids. GIANTS Tatarsas is not being in Gods heavenly family and they loose the gift of putting on flesh. Tom has it spot on

    I saw Stephen Ankema’s comments and sadly, the false doctrine that the Christian Church has preached over so many years has brainwashed faithful followers to believe that “the Sons of God” in Genesis 6 and “the Sons of God in Job 1: 6 are mere human men, whilst none of it makes sense.
    Where has mere men entered the presence of God Almighty EVER?
    The lying pens of the scribes (Jeremiah 8:8) does have something to do with these understandings. They do NOT want it to be true that angels married human women, had children with them (Nephilim before the flood and these evil children spawned from those unions were called Demons after the flood)
    You see if you connect the dots and read the conversations between Jesus and the demons you will quickly find out that they are the disembodied spirits of these hybrid kids whose bodies drowned in the flood.

    People like Stephen are SO afraid to step outside of the boundaries of the Torah, Prophets and New Testament that they are like children who grew up in the same house and never left their parents and discovered truth for themselves.

    I support your article and thank you for speaking the truth. You are one of few who are prepared to do that.

      Hi Elsie
      I full agree with Tim and basically agree with you except the Demons being spauned from the nephiphilm , the hybrid children born from human women and fallen angelic sons off God the fallen angels became called Demons and sided with Satan the original rebel and Devil. The hybrid Giants were impotent and jealous of genuine men and were mainly the cause of the violence in the pre flood world causing Jehovah to bring judgment and destruction upon it.

    Stephen is right. Read the Bible in its proper context and stop spreading lies.

      Sam, please share with us this biblical “proper context” that I have failed to read, so that I may learn.

      Eight months ago I told Stephen that, if he could provide Scriptural proof that what I had written was incorrect, I would correct it and change my mind on what I had been teaching. I’m still waiting.
